Testing if PDR-001 Can Safely and Effectively Remove Harmful Brain Protein in Parkinson's Disease

Studying if PDR-001 safely reduces harmful brain protein in Parkinson's.

Recruiting
40-65 years
All
Phase 1

This study aims to test a new treatment called PDR-001 for Parkinson's Disease (PD). PD is a brain disorder caused by harmful proteins called α-synuclein, which damage brain cells. Current treatments have limitations, so this study explores if PDR-001 can remove these proteins safely and effectively. PDR-001 is a special protein that targets and reduces α-synuclein, possibly slowing or stopping PD.

Participants will have PDR-001 delivered directly to their brain using a method called bilateral stereotaxic injection. This involves small surgery to place the treatment in the right spot.

To join, you must be aged 40-65, have had PD for 5 years or less, and not have other brain disorders or surgeries. You cannot join if you have certain health issues or infections, like hepatitis or HIV.

  • The study involves surgery, requiring careful consideration of risks.
  • Participants will help test a potential new way to treat PD, aiming to slow or stop the disease.
  • Eligibility requires specific health criteria and no major brain surgery history.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
